Purpose of This FAQ
***********************************************************************
************************
I am creating this FAQ for all of those people that are having trouble
making an AC that will fit there needs. I have spent many hours trying
to find out as much as I can about the stats of parts and how they
affect the performance of an AC. I hope that I can make it a little
easier for you to design an AC by explaining what each stat will
affect. If you have any questions E-Mail me at the address mentioned
above and if I cannot answer your question E-Mail my friend at
dc2353@hotmail.com. I hope that this FAQ will make it easier for you
to create an AC that fits your needs.

Design Tips
***********************************************************************
First off, we must eliminate a few words from your vocabulary.
Don't ever use the words "ultimate AC." There is no such thing!
Everything depends upon the pilot. You could have an AC where you win
every time and then hand the controller to your friend and he would die
horribly. It's the style. One basic thing you need to create an AC is
balance. You need to have balance between everything. You must have
balance between speed and defense, shell and energy weapons, etc. If
you can create a balanced AC then you are half way to making a good AC.
I just defy all laws of AC designing, I seem fight better as I become
less balanced...but anyway, try to keep it balanced.
I will go through the design stage part by part. Let's begin
with the head. When choosing a head there are a few things that you
must consider such as whether or not the head has a radar, whether it
has a biosensor, noise canceller, etc. As you can see, it becomes
annoying that is why I am going through this part-by-part.
First, picking a head. When you pick a head you need to decide
whether this AC will be to fight in VS. mode or whether it will be a
mission AC. If it will be a mission AC, a biosensor is a MUST. This
helps in any mission where the enemies are biological. If you don't
have a biosensor you will not be able to get a lock on the enemies.
Another must for mission ACs is AREA AND PLACE NAME for map type. This
will allow you to see mission targets on your map. If you are not
going to where a radar as a back part, you will need a radar in your
head. Look for a high radar range. Although it isn't really necessary
a noise canceller is a nice addition. Also, if you use your radar to
dodge missiles you would like to have a low scanning interval. This
will make it so that missiles appear on your radar as soon as they are
fired. Well, that is about it for the head.
Second, picking a good core. The core is one of the most
important parts of an AC. There are many things that you must consider
when choosing a core. First off, defense and weight. If you want a
light AC you would pick a core with low weight, but you would also need
to think about how long you want to be able to overboost, but for most
purposes you just want to consider AP defensive points and weight. For
those of you who like to be light I would recommend ZCL-XA/2. This
core overboosts at an insane speed. It weighs a little more than the
ECL-ONE but it makes up for it with extra armor points and the fastest
overboost in the game, and as an extra bonus you get 21 optional part
slots! For those of you who like to be a little bit more, well, FAT, I
would recommend the ZCX-F/ROOK. This core allows you to overboost a
lot longer than most and it is light. The ZCX-F/ROOK has a good amount
of AP and defensive points for the weight.
Third, finding a pair of arms for you. If you are like me you
always have at least 1 AC dedicated to being a "laser blade AC." If
this were the case, you would want a combination of high ENERGY SUPPLY,
low WEIGHT, high ACCURACY and high MOVEMENT ABLILITY. If you aren't
making an AC for pure laser blade ability then you would want to
concentrate on high AP, low WEIGHT, and high marks in DEFENSIVE POINTS.
For those laser blade fanatics out there I would recommend the ZAN-
414/SLA or the ZAW-2/SAMURAI. For those of you aren't going to create
a laser blade AC I would recommend the ZAN-616/AUR. Now for those of
you who are going to use weapon arms, I salute you. These types of
pilots are becoming a rare breed. You would look for the same things
you would if you were looking for any other type of weapon.
Fourth, choosing a pair of legs. There are 5 types of legs:
humanoid, reverse joint, quadrapeds, tank treads and hover legs. To
make a fast AC you would want to look for high MOVING ABILITY, high
MOVING SPEED, low WEIGHT and high LANDING STABILITY. If you are not as
considered with speed you would want to look for high AP, high
DEFENSIVE POINTS, and medium weight. There are a few advantages
associated with different types of legs so I will tell you about those.
Here are the advantages of the different types. Humanoid legs strafe
better than all of the other types. Reverse joints jump higher than
all of the other leg types. Quadrapeds do more damage when you hit
someone with your laser blade than all of the other types. Tank treads
can hold more weight than all of the other leg types. And last, but
not least, hover type legs don't become stunned when they fall from a
high distance.
Fifth, picking boosters. What you want to look for is a good
balance between BOOST POWER and CHARGE DRAIN. You want a high BOOST
POWER and a low CHARGE DRAIN. That is about all you really need to
know about choosing boosters.
Sixth, time to choose an FCS. If you are going to use missiles,
your top priority is to find an FCS with a low LOCK SPEED. This will
drastically reduce the amount of time it takes for you to acquire a
lock with your missiles. You also want to find an FCS that has fairly
high PRECISION and RETICLE MOBILITY. You will have to experiment to
find out which FCS provides a decent sized box for your equipped
weapons though.
Seventh, finding an adequate generator. For this there is no
competition if you put on anything besides the HOY-B1000 you are
well.........a moron.
Eighth, finding a nice radiator. It isn't really that hard, look
for high COOLING and high FORCED COOLING with a weight that actually
allows you to get your AC off the ground.
Ninth, choosing an inside part. I can't really help you with
this one. You will just have to choose something that fits you style.
Tenth, time to look for an extension. For anti/missile
extensions use the BEX-BAMS-287. This has the most ammo, the best VS-
MG-ANGLE and VS-MG-RESPONSE. There is one extra armor extension, the
BEX-AA00. There are also support missiles, the BEX-BRM-04 and the BEX-
BRM-02. Take a guess which one shoots four and which one shoots two.
Hint: Try looking at the name! The BEX-BRM-02 has longer range than
the BEX-BRM-04 so for long range missiles use the
BEX-BRM-02. There are also specialized boosters. One boosts you down,
one boosts you back, and one turns you 90 degrees in the direction that
is pressed on the D-Pad. And, well, that's about it.
Eleventh, choosing you're your weapons and/or shields and/or
clips. If you are looking for weapons you have a few basic types,
rockets, missiles, guns, and double back weapons. If you are going to
use rockets you want to look for high ATTACK POWER and high AMMO. If
you are looking for missiles than you have a few more things to
consider, such as the MAXIMUM LOCK NUMBER, and in rare cases the number
of shots per lock. You also need to consider the RANGE. If you are a
long range fighter with your missiles, or like to attack from above you
want to have a long RANGE. Another thing to consider is the flight
path, or the way the missile flies through the air. For example: Some
missiles fly straight, some fly straight up and the straight down and
there are many other types. You need to keep this in mind as you
create your AC. With guns you need to decide whether you want energy
weapons or shell weapons. Other than that all you really need to
consider is NUMBER OF AMMO, RANGE and RELOAD TIME. It doesn't take a
genius to figure out how to use a clip. It tells you exactly what the
clip does on the game. There is however, one really cool clip. The
60% clip is fun. I have that on my best AC and it is really nice with
Karasawa.
Last, but not least, laser blades and energy shields. I, like
many people, have become and avid Armored Core player and a laser blade
fiend. What you need to think about here is RANGE RATING, and ATTACK
POWER. Overall I think that Moonlight is best overall but the new
laser, for those of you who are still looking for a one-hit kill, the
new laser blade is the strongest. Warning, the new laser blade is
INCREDIBLY SMALL! I would recommend Moonlight for those of you who are
more practical. The ELS-3443 is nice because it reloads at an insane
rate so if you do it right you can keep yourself in the air without
boosting! Now for shields, the MIRROR is by far the best so there is
no real reason to use any other shield. It has the best defense and a
really good coverage.

FCS: LODD-8
GENERATOR: HOY-B1000
RADIATOR: RPS-MER/SA
INSIDE: NONE
EXTENSION: BEX-BB210
BACK UNIT R: BRS-B-OSPREY
BACK UNIT L: NONE
ARM UNIT R: NONE
ARM UNIT L: ELS/3443
DESCRIPTION: Before I say anything keep in mind this is for all of you
laser blade fanatics out there. This is not meant to fight ACs
equipped with weapons, however, it can be done. I have always liked
the ELS/3443 laser blade but I could never find a way to make it cause
a significant amount of damage but still be effective. I used the
quadraped type legs to do just that. However, if you still think this
AC lacks the necessary power equip Moonlight. The extension I chose
was chosen to help me compete with my friend. You might know him as
dc2353@hotmail.com (you might want to check out his mission FAQ). He
uses the dual laser blade arms on his laser blade ACs so I needed a way
to stay of range of his blades until I was ready to strike. The reason
I equipped Black Widow with a radar is to make up for the extremely bad
scanning interval of his head, because buck unit radars have a scanning
interval of 1. Black widow is an extremely effective AC with a little
bit of practice, and also has a laser blade beam that shoots a spread
shot so at point-blank range Black Widow can cause a lot of damage in
little time. One other unique attribute of this AC is what I like to
call the infinite laser blade chain combo. If you hold any direction
you can then tap X and roll your thumb over onto the O button. This
causes the AC "hop" and stab. If you repeat it immediately you can
stab very rapidly. The infinite laser blade chain combo can also be
used to propel yourself forward. If you are close to your opponent and
perform this tactic you "heat seek" towards your opponent.
AC NAME: Vendetta
HEAD: EHD-SCOPEEYE
CORE: ZCX-F/ROOK
ARMS: EAN-MHKS
LEGS: ZLN-EK1/SRRT
BOOSTER: ZBT-Z1/ARTERE
FCS: LODD-BLAZER

EXTENSION: BEX-BAMS-287
BACK UNIT R: EXM/DDO2
BACK UNIT L: EXM/DDO2
ARM UNIT R: KARASAWA-MK2
ARM UNIT L: LS-MOONLIGHT
DESCRIPTION: First off THIS AC IS OVERWEIGHT so don't complain to
me if you cannot create this AC. I created this AC to be fairly agile
while still carrying the firepower to destroy anything that comes
between you and your objective. With the clip you have 80 ammunition
for Karasawa which combined with the large lock box of the LODD-BLAZER,
spells doom for anyone who dares stand in your way! For those of you
who fight missile fanatics you will be glad to know that this AC also
has 80 ammunition for the extension. And, if you run out of ammo don't
worry because you have Moonlight to back you up. By the way the
orbiter inside part also is a nice complement to the already daunting
attributes of this AC.

In the updated version of my FAQ I hope to have 4 all new AC designs
ready for you. I am also currently conducting controlled test battles
to find out exactly what the OB limit really is. I hope that I will
soon be able to find a way to produce a video mission walkthrough but I
am not sure what will happen with that. I am also planning on starting
up a website. If I do start a website I will get a Shark Port and post
my Armored Core 2: Another Age save file. I already have a Dex Drive
so I will also post my Armored Core Master of Arena save file. If you
have any questions E-Mail me at sephirothchaolan@hotmail.com.
